Sydney/NSW Sydney Mini Expo 2013/Vivid festival - 1st/2nd June - Confirm your Interest

[fasteddy]

Raffle prizes: 2 unused "Masters" boxes.

If you want I have 2 very short presentations done on powerpoint:

1. Waterproofing 101 - waterproofing controllers, boxes, power supplies and lights - 10-15 minutes max
2. Voltage & current measurement with practical demo - 10-15 minutes max

two very useful subjects that we all can learn from and share ideas.

two very useful subjects that we all can learn from and share ideas.

The presentations take like 5 mins of PC, 5 mins of demo and then the idea was some talk time. I detest hour long presentations for 1 day mini's, as I'd prefer to give people the real basics, have a quick demo and then a talk and people can ask questions in the general chat time, people can show how they mount controllers, how they monitor current, how they waterproof to those who are interested.

I agree, i like to have more open discussion than tedious hour long presntations. I think we have learnt from the past minis that this will be the best approach for all. I will be doing something on LSP but i may use the other room for that as not everyone wants to see that.

Is there a cut off time to say yay or nay to coming to the Sydney mini?
I am thinking about going to Sydney for a work conference and could also squeeze in the mini as I think it would greatly improve my knowledge (or current lack there of) about pixels and the mind boggling LSP (looks like LSP can do some magical things... if only I can get my head around it ).

There is no cut off time, it just makes it easier for us to know numbers for planning purposes, So a few last minute extras wont cause us any issues.

Hi Everyone
we are trying to figure out a place for dinner on the Saturday night.
Lithgow and myself think this place at the star city casino is good value for money
http://www.star.com.au/sydney-restaurants/casual-dining/Pages/garden-buffet.aspx
$43.90 for all you can eat including tea, coffee and soft drinks.

please let us know what you think

Ok looks like I'm going to be able to make it across the ditch for the mini.
I'm keen to attend it all. The family are staying behind so it'll be just me ( i.e. 1).
Would like to attend the Saturday night dinner, the vivid expo, the Sunday mini and the Sunday lunch.

Keen to hear and see stuff on LSP and getting tips on cutting and soldering strip light etc.
Also info about hooking up the J1sys controllers etc (but from the previous posts this all looks to be on the program already so all good! )

Looking forward to it.

For the purposes of booking flights etc, do you have a rough idea of what time the dinner usually starts on Sat night and what time the mini starts and finishes Sunday.
Just trying to decide whether or not to fly home Sun evening or Monday morning.
